When you try to install watir 2.0.4, it will grab the latest version of the win32-process gem (and other dependencies) unless you already have one installed. Currently the win32-process gem is at version 0.7.0, which you do not want. So the solution is to manually install a prior version of the win32-process gem. I believe watir 2.0.4 was originally using win32-process 0.5.5, though I think you could use 0.6.6 as well.
I was able to get Watir 2.0.4 to install successfully (ie could launch and close an IE browser) from a fresh Ruby 1.8.7 install by doing: gem install win32-process -v 0.5.5 gem install watir -v 2.0.4 - Justin On Thursday, October 18, 2012 9:55:08 AM UTC-4, Shryan wrote: > > So previously on my old machine I was using Ruby 1.8.7 in conjunction with > Watir 2.0.4.
